Chapter 2
Roy sighed as he gathered his stuff to go home. So much paperwork. It was piled up on his desk. He said goodbye to Riza, grabbed his coat, and left.
He checked his watch. It was one in the morning. He cursed at himself, he had overworked again!
Why couldn't he just have normal hours? He walked along the familiar path, towards his small apartment. As he turned the corner it began to rain. He cursed. He opened up his small umbrella and continued on.
He reached the last block when he saw a small figure walking in the opposite direction. Roy squinted through the downpour and instantly recognized the bright red coat.
As they got closer Roy called out, "Fullmetal?"
The blondes head slid up. The stood in front of each other both men soaked. Ed shivered.
"S-sorry Colonel I was just walking home."
Roy smiled, he admired Ed's complete will and determination but sometimes it made life hard for him. He walked over to him.
"The dorms are miles away and you'll catch a cold if you're out much longer, if you haven't already. Come back to my place, you can stay tonight," Roy said.
Ed looked down, "no I shouldn't, Al is probably worried," he said.
"You can call him."
Ed stood there and pondered, Roy smiled and lightly pushed him into the direction of his place. Ed stiffened with the touch. Roy frowned and handed Ed the umbrella.
"Sorry Fullmetal I didn't know you were that sensitive," he said and walked. Ed followed behind slowly, almost unwillingly.
As they reached his house, Roy pulled out the keys and led the small alchemist inside.
"I know it's small, but it works," Roy said lighting the fire manually.
Ed laughed softly, his voice quivering, "can't perform alchemy when wet can you Colonel?"
Roy frowned and sighed, "hey I'm being nice in letting you stay. I could've let you drown out there!"
He looked back at Ed, he was standing there in soaked clothes, shivering violently. Roy stood and went to the hall closet. He came back with a few towels.
"Here, the bathroom is right there," Roy said pointing, "you can take a warm bath."
Ed nodded and without a word went in, closing the door behind him. Roy stripped down in his room and threw his dirty, wet clothes into the hamper.
He had no idea what Ed was doing out so late, and why he was by himself. He had many questions.
He heard a crash from the bathroom, followed by a small yelp. Roy rushed in and saw Ed lying on the tile, naked, his leg messed up.
Roy blushed, and avoided the obvious parts. What the hell was he thinking? Ed was hurt. He bent down and took a closer look. He saw bruises, teeth marks, and red marks.
"What the hell happened?!" Roy gasped.
"Nothing, my automail snagged on something and the nerves unconnected. I fell."
"What are all these bruises and scratches?" Roy asked horrified. The continued down his hips and to his thighs.
"Nothing."
Ed held onto the sink and pulled himself up. He sat down on the toilet and cursed.
"Dammit. My leg. I'm going to need your help," he said.
Roy realized he was avoiding the question but nodded. Ed would eventually answer him right?
"What is it you need me to do?" He asked.
"Push my leg back in, reconnect the nerves," he said to Roy.
"I don't..know how."
"Just push."
Roy sighed and got down on his knees in front of Ed. The bruising and tearing more obvious. Roy bit his lip to keep from saying something. Ed braced himself and Roy pushed. The younger cried out. Roy panicked.
"Did I do something wrong?!" He asked standing up.
"N-no it just hurts like hell," he said standing up. He wrapped a towel around his waist.
"Thanks," he said to Roy.
He started to put his wet clothes back on but Roy stopped him, "I'll let you borrow something."
He walked into his room and grabbed a t shirt and boxers. He handed them to Ed and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Ed slid them on, the fit too big. Roy laughed softly but stopped as he got the death glare.
"Sorry you just look smaller in that more than usual," he said fighting back laughter.
He was surprised when Ed didn't make a remark at the small comment. It never failed. He watched as the blonde walked out into the living room and laid down on the couch. He looked so small and fragile.
"Are you going to tell me what happened?" Roy asked. Ed shook his head.
Roy sighed and handed him a blanket before heading into his room and laying down. His mind raced with thoughts of the young boy. Why was he thinking such things? What happened to Ed? He had to find out. He just had to.
